As I write this, I'm about three days into the "new sofa project"....And, at the rate I'm going, it could take me all summer.
 |
| The last time I saw the glider loveseat, it was sitting on the outside of the Salvation Army store, all faded and forlorn....but two employees were sitting on it -- taking a smoke break. That made me smile... |
Joann's is having a summer sale -- and outdoor fabric is 50% off right now. More Ritaluck, eh??
Of course, I would NEVER just buy ten yards of one fabric to recover the sofa. THAT would be so boring...anybody could have THAT sofa...
 |
| What if I bought three different fabrics -- the same pattern, but different colors? Orange for starters... |
 |
| And yellow -- my favorite color -- maybe also teal?? |
But then I did the measurements. And the math. I need 10 yards of fabric -- even at half price, that means I'm spending more on the fabric than I spent on the sofa....It just felt WRONG....
 |
| THEN, Linda and I went to Hancock and checked out their flat folds...for only $5/yd -- I could have THIS.... |
 |
| They had a pretty good selection. I'd be able to mix up several wild patterns... |
YOU WILL HAVE TO STAY TUNED.....
This project could take all summer. You know how one thing leads to another...I've already learned a BIG sewing lesson...
So -- for now -- the sofa project will by my regular MONDAY blog post...NEXT Monday you'll see what fabric I selected. In the end. Maybe. It's a work in progress....some decisions will be made, then sewed, then changed....I AM LOVING IT...
